Re: If You Ran the Redskins...
1. Cut Springs and possibly smoot (would prefer to keep one of them for rainy day), 1-2 OL, one of our defensive ends, and Marcus Washington (if we find him a replacement)
2. Make at least one big sign from the free agent crop, we could use any d-lineman, o-lineman, and even a solid OLB (peppers, suggs, haynesworth, jordan groos, stacey andrews, jahri evans, bart scott, michael boley, leroy hill) snagging one of these guys gives us an immediate starter, and one less immediate need to assess in the draft
3. Draft needs in order
a. O-line, with all the talented Tackles or Guards in this years draft we should be able to grab a starter with a mid round pick, I hate to say this but samuels, thomas, jansen are all getting too old
b. If we dont get a defensive lineman in free agency (which we wont thanks to the amazing addition of jason taylor 123156 years old, we could have had the space to add peppers or suggs, wow we messed that one up), we need to target a fluid pass rusher. its agonizing to watch our d-line try (yes only try) to get to the quarterback. We could target guys like selvie, orakpo, and michael johnson
c. IF we address our needs at OL and DL we need a replacement for Washington right away, hes lost his step and with london (hall of fame me?) aging we could add a guy like cushing, laurinitis, of curry to eventually take the reigns. I lie laurinitis becasue he has the skills to play OLB until london retires then we can move him back inside
4. we need to let our young talent develop, I know we all got our hopes up after our awesome start but we need to realize our team will only get worse with our aging starters if we dont give our young talent a chance to develop. We need rinehart, thomas, and kelly to grow in the offseason, I WANT RANDLE EL back in the slot next season where he is the biggest threat
